Thumbs down 08 with oil consumption.

Changed oil last Sunday, before I dropped the oil, I checked the dipstick.... Yep, it was down almost off the stick! We have 77xxx miles on her, going by the dealer to start the consumption log.

Update-- it's been 2,000 miles since oil change, no oil consumption. I don't get it. It was off the stick last time, now nothing......

It may have went 5,000 miles. Yes, I've changed the oil myself since 36000 miles. I do it the same way every time, always use 6 qts and run it then recheck the level. I am running synthetic oil.
